Marco Brüschweiler

Mea has given up on hopes and dreams. Forced into being a sex slave at a very young age by people who she owes debts to. She is pushed around from one man to another, old, young, dying. But a chance meeting one night in a bar changes her entire life. Marco Marchetti is a mafia don, feared and respected. He had gone into the bar looking for someone to pass the night. But he had ended up picking up someone who could ensnare and entrap him just by her gaze. Marco will slowly teach Mea pleasures she never knew she could feel. Pleasures she never knew existed. He'll show her the difference between sex and love-making. But what happens when Mea's past which still haunts her dreams, resurfaces in real life? What happens when Mea is thrown into the turbulent struggles within the mafia world?

I'm representing the Rosa family at a mafia trade summit when we're ambushed on the road. In the chaos, I get separated from the only bodyguard assigned to protect me. When I finally overcome all hurdles and make it home alive, I see him step down from the vehicle that attacked us. The Soldati line up before him respectfully. "Mr. Marco, if you like Leonora, you could just tell the Don. Why pretend to be Viviana's bodyguard? You had us chase Viviana into the dangerous Neralis Rainforest so that Leonora could appear at the trade summit. She's been missing for three days now. Shall we send our men to look for her?" Marco Santis furrows his brows, and his fingers clench around a ring carved with the Santis family's crest. "Leonora has always been insecure about being an illegitimate daughter. I haven't secured my position as heir. If I tell my father now, I'm afraid he'll never agree. As for Viviana, she's capable. She'll be fine." I realize Marco tried so hard to stay by my side for my illegitimate sister, Leonora Rosa. She's the one who drove my mother to her grave. It feels like someone had dug a hole in my chest and left it open to the cold wind. I force myself to stand and head to my father's room. "Papa, you wanted me to marry the dying heir of the Santis family. I accept."

On the day the real heiress was welcomed home, my fiancé was already sleeping with her. Staring at the blue pills and torn lingerie scattered on the floor, I told them to get the hell out of my wedding house. But a second later, my father stormed in and slapped me hard across the face. "Who are you to tell her to leave? Bella is our real daughter!" "Elena, you’re just an outsider we took in by mistake. You’re the one who needs to get out." Marco wrapped his arm around Bella, his tone impatient: "Elena, I’m the heir to the Moretti family. I can’t marry a mongrel with impure blood like you. If you don't want to bring shame to the family, be smart and go tell the Don the wedding is off tomorrow." Bella gave a coy smile and tossed a stack of cash at my feet like she was giving alms: "Sister, I know Marco and I hurt you, but we’re true love." "Take this as your severance package. Take the money and get lost." I suppressed my rage and stepped forward to throw these disgusting people out, but Marco shoved me violently. "I told you, I’m not marrying you! Keep pestering us, and don't blame me for getting rough!" My stomach slammed against the table. I laughed out of pure anger. Who said I wanted to marry him? The one I’m going to marry is his father—the Don of the Moretti family, Lorenzo.

Le troisième jour après ma mort, Louis Richard a reçu un appel pour identifier le corps. Serrant une femme dans les bras, il a dit d'un ton désinvolte : « Je m’en fous. Appelle-moi après l’incinération. » Mon corps a été brûlé dans le crématorium. Une fois réduit en cendres, le personnel a de nouveau contacté Louis. Agacé, il a poussé un soupir : « Je vois. J’arrive. »

Elena, seorang wanita cerdas menjadi bodoh setelah bertahun-tahun terjebak dalam cinta sepihak bersama dengan suaminya. Dia meninggalkan dunia cemerlangnya sebagai seorang nona muda kaya hanya untuk mengejar cinta dari suaminya, Marco Sebastian. Di malam hari jadi pernikahannya, Elena datang ke kantor sang suami untuk memberi kejutan. Namun siapa yang sangka jika di malam itu bukan suaminya yang terkejut, namun dia yang mendapatkan kejutan hebat. "Setelah hari-hari yang aku habiskan untuk mengejarmu, ternyata ini yang kau lakukan di belakangku! Kau bilang wanita itu hanya sekretarismu, tapi ternyata wanita ini tidak lebih dari seorang pelacur untuk menyenangkanmu! Aku membencimu, Marco!" teriak Elena penuh kemarahan, menatap suaminya dengan pandangan penuh kebencian, sebelum akhirnya berlari meninggalkan suaminya yang tertegun, dengan kue anniversary yang hancur berserakan di lantai. Elena berlari tanpa arah, didorong oleh rasa frustrasi dan sakit hati yang mendalam. Pikirannya yang kosong membawanya pada pemikiran untuk menabrakkan diri ke mobil yang melintas di jalan, sebagai cara untuk mengakhiri semua kekacauan dan rasa sakit yang dia rasakan dalam hidupnya. "Aku tidak ingin mencintaimu lagi, Marco!" lirih Elena menangis, sebelum tubuhnya terpental keras di atas jalanan aspal, dengan darah yang mengalir setelah dirinya tertabrak oleh mobil.

Thanks to Sofia Columbo, Luca Vitale and I keep breaking up and getting back together for three years. Exhausted and desperate to get out of this situation, I end up choosing to be with Don Marco Rossi, who has been pursuing me for many years. Since then, we've been together for five years. His love for me never wavers, and I truly believe that I've chosen the right man to be with. But at the bachelor's party that takes place one week before the wedding, Marco's Underboss, Enzo Ferrari, begins running his mouth without any filter whatsoever after he gets completely wasted. "Don Rossi, Anna actually fell in love with you for real! Does she even know that you're only marrying her just so Sofia can be with Luca?" Marco just smiles without denying the allegations. He merely says, "As long as Sofia can be with Luca, I'm fine with marrying whoever. Honestly speaking, I did get close to Anna with ulterior motives at first, but I still ended up falling in love with her for real. "By the way, do not let Anna find out about this, no matter what. You know how much she hates it when people lie to her. If she ever finds out, she'll leave me just like how she left Luca. That mustn't happen at all." After wiping my tears, I tell my father that I wish to marry the man he has picked out for me.

"I am yours, Scarlett," he cut me off and my words got caught in my throat. "I belong to you. My body is yours. My soul is yours. . ." I blinked slowly as I stared up at him with wide eyes. What was this man talking about? I wanted to refuse it, to push it aside as just mere talk but his golden eyes were blazing into mine. There was so much determination in his voice that I just had to believe him. "You can see me naked whenever you want. You can touch me whenever you want," he whispered. —------------------- Right from the day my mother brought me into the world, she hated me as if I was the devil’s spawn itself. She abused me every chance she got and made me hate myself. Things only got worse when she forced me to take my sister’s place– her precious daughter– and marry a total pervert– Marco Bianchi, as it was my family’s way of upholding our allegiance with the Bianchi Family. It was either I married him or she cut off my medical bills and leave me for dead. I had no choice but to accept and was going to marry Marco until I met him– Viktor Marcelli– the most feared ruthless Mafia Leader who had a heart as dark as his past. He waltzed into my wedding, shattered my world and offered me a choice: Go ahead and Marry Marco, the pervert and monster I knew, or take my chance with him– a total stranger who could either become my savior or destroy what was left of my soul…

My mother sent me to Chicago to marry Marco Ricci. A power move. One meant to cement our family’s control of the city. After all, my grandfather was the one who put the Riccis on the map. They owed us. They were supposed to treat me like royalty. I went to the fanciest jeweler in Chicago to buy my fiancé a gift. But some broad snatched it right from me. Before I could move, the store manager was fawning all over her. “Miss Bianca! A gift from Mr. Ricci? It’s perfect on you!” Marco? My fiancé? So this was his whore. She slid the sapphire ring onto her finger and shot me a look of disgust. “Who the hell do you think you are, bitch? Trying to take what’s mine?” I didn't even look at her. I just called Marco. "Your whore has something of mine. You have three minutes. Get down to the jeweler and handle her."
